i just recently installed Gederom v1.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550) and used it for a few minutes after it was done. Then i decided that I needed to charge it. I plugged it in. Then my Kindle just stopped working. First it shutdown. I tried turning it on again, but it wouldn't turn on. I then unplugged it to see if it would turn on. It did, but only for a few seconds. I could see the FireFireFire logo. Then it shut down. It doesn't turn on if it is plugged in. I do not think it is because the battery is low because I had let it charge while it was shutdown (it just broke) overnight. Please help me!!!!!!!

It doesn't work. My kindle doesn't turn on if it is plugged in. It can only turn on when it is not plugged in. I tried unplugging it, powering it on, then plugging it in, but it didn't work. I am using the usb charger.

Are you sure that it's turning off? Mine was acting the same way (long story) it would show the KINDLE FIRE screen for a litted and the blink and go black, plugged it into my computer was able to see it in device manager

Did you leave it plugged in for a couple hours? Don't try to turn it on. Just leave it plugged in for a while.

Does your KF stay on with no problems or sudden shut downs while it is unplugged from any charger?
With my last phone, I has a problem similar to what you have described. It was strange because when I plugged it in to the wall, the little light on the usb adapter would actually turn off, like it was tripping the circuit somehow...and then when i took it back off, that light would come on. So, I had to charge its battery externally.
If you can, check to see if that is the issue. If it is, you're probably just screwed unfortunately :/
that's my story for the day...good luck though

I've been going nuts with this problem, that if the phone is being charged with usb cable plugged in, when I press "Power off" the phone will shut down and automatically restarts itself.
If I unplug the cable the phone can power off fine, but when it's in power off state, as soon as I plug in the cable, it starts itself automatically just as if I pressed and held the power button which I didn't.
What's going on?????????? Please help.
Clarify: it's not that the screen turns on, it's the phone actually turns on / boots / starts.
EDIT:
Did a little research, my problem is the same as here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209918
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689248
I noticed with mine, the only time it started up automatically was when I didn't have the USB cable plugged in fully to the wall charger.
I think that the phone can somehow detect either resistance or capacitance changes in the USB connection and turns on under certain circumstances, while it is supposed to stay off if the resistance / capacitance values are "normal".
it's normal for the screen to turn ON when you plug in the USB cable
it's NOT normal for the Phone to turn ON from OFF when you plug in the USB cable
the normal behaviour for when the Phone is completely OFF when you plug in the USB cable it should just show you the green battery meter charging

maybe it's a defective unit?
have you tried going back to stock?

I doubt it's a defective unit because it used to be fine. Just happened yesterday.
Everything is stock right now.
try a different charger/cable. if it still happens return it.
I had this problem after wiping my battery status and draining it all the way down. After charging over night, I then ran battery calibrator the next day and when i ran it all the way down again and plugged it in the problem was solved. Hasnt happened since (since 2 days ago when this happened anyway).
very interesting
Mine turns on when I plug in a usb cable while the phone is turned off following a battery stuck at 100% condition. In other words, if my phone is stuck at 100% (usually every time after charging), and I turn the phone off, and then plug in the usb cable, the phone will turn on by itself. But if my phone is not stuck at 100%, and I turn the phone off and then plug in the cable, I get the green battery.
Ok, so I do not know what happened, but now, my battery is very low. I have TWRP installed, so whenever I plug or unplug from my stock Fire charger, or press the power button, it will display "Charging low battery, please wait", and the indicator button turns green, and powers off. When I try the method showed here, it will turn dark orange for a few seconds, then when TWRP starts, it is replaced with green then turns off.
I would really appreciate any help!
Here is a youtube video:

So, it is fine even if the charging light does not come on?
josepho1997 said:
Yes. In fact, if you get your kindle working, when you charge it, see how much the battery increases in 30 min. Then, do it again with it off. My battery was charging 10% in 30 min, and when its off its charging 19%.

Ok, I tried that, however it does not work. The light will turn on when I plug it in, and when I hold it down for 20 seconds. I will try again with a different cable, but are there any other suggestions?
Wow, I cannot believe this! Someone did something to my kindle, and now it was working! Of course, you helped greatly, Josepho!
Somewhat related question, does the KF charge while in recovery? TWRP 2.0 specifically. In my experience with phones charging doesn't happen while in recovery, at least in CWM recovery.
EDIT: seems to be charging in recovery.
Yes, it should.
Rooted Kindle Fire on CM10
My kindle's dead and I can't seem to charge it up. When i plug in my charger it boots up to the boot animation then just dies and starts all over.
I can't find my stock kindle charger, so what are my options?

I can't turn it off, the kindle is already off because it is dead. When i plug the charger in, it automatically turns on and it dies during the bootanimation and repeats..
The kindle shuts down before he will have time to power it down and let it charge. I just spent the last 48 hours battling this same thing.
Your options from what I can see:
1. Buy another stock Kindle charger.
2. Find another 5v charger you have laying around with at least 1.8A. If it's a micro-usb, just use that to try to charge the kindle. If you have a 5v charger with at least 1.8A that isn't for a micro-USB device:
3. Get your non-micro USB charger and a spare micro usb cable. Cut off the end of the charger (Right before the part where it connects to the device), open the cable's casing, and look for black and red wires. Strip these. Now, cut the end off of your USB cable that connects to the computer. Open the casing, look for black and red. Strip. Now, connect red from the charger to the red of the USB cable. Likewise with the black. Intertwine the fibers; make sure it's secure. Cover the newly joined part of the cable (wheree the wires are exposed) with electrical tape to keep the red and black from touching. Try to charge the kindle now. Leave it plugged in for hours; it may take this long for it to work.
If you can't charge the kindle as described above, I have one more method, but it's risky and it will definitely void your warranty if you haven't already done so (unlikely). I had to resort to this method tonight, having no idea of whether or not it would work. But thankfully, it worked and my Kindle is now finally charging. This is a last resort, however.

Do you know if this makes the Kindle Fire absolutely impervious to the low battery booting issue? Does FFF 1.4 fix it completely?
If I were to completely drain my battery as much as I could, would it still boot after I plugged a charger in?

last time I tested it my battery was at 1% I didnt get the please wait battery to low warning but I believe it did what it was intended to do previous tests proved that its completely effective on my daughter kindle a few month before just plugged it in and finally it booted by itself took about 15 mins for it to gain enough to boot, but it could take several hours on usb charge if its totally drained to the bone. Nothing is impervious

if you have fff 1.4a simply power it off and plug it to your computer to charge leave it alone for say a few hours then try again
Your kf may be turning on but can't start the system. You should holding the power button in 20s. The kf will be turned off. You just pluggin your charger to charge its.
You can unbrick your kf by many way. Search in this forum to find a right way for your case.
send from my kindle fire using cm7
Will this method work on the kfhd too?

I posted this in another forum, sorry about the lack of clarification between methods, just try the options i've stated below, hope it works!
Okay, so a while back I had this same problem. My phone turned off, and whenever I plugged it in to charge it did not seem to be charging, odd. The red light was not coming on either. I was told to do 2 things, i cant remember which order so try both.
Option 1:
Plug your phone into your turned on computer with the USB cable and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge using the wall charger.
Option 2 (not likely to work):
Plug your phone into your wall socket with the USB cable and wall charger and leave it there to charge until the red light comes on (leave for 1-2 hours, more if you feel it necessary), then quickly put it on charge through your turned on computer using the USB cable.
If neither of these work (as dumb as this may sound)turn off your phone and put your phone in the freezer for 15-30 minutes (This is done to discharge the battery, wont break your phone). When you've left it there for your chosen time, try option 1 again. If that doesn't work, turn the phone off again and put it back in the freezer for the same time and try option 2. If they don't work, i'm sorry I don't know how to help you.
When I turn on the download mode on my lg g pad it was a low battery charge. The tablet didn't sew and now I cannot it turn on. May you advice me what I can do with my tablet so that it included? Thanks.

Okay, on some devices if the battery gets really drained you actually need to try a different charger to find one that may work. As an example my old kindle fire got drained to the point that the factory wall charger would not charge it at all (no reaction when plugged in overnight) but when I plugged it in to a computer and left it plugged in for an hour) it started to take a charge. So the first thing I would do is try a computer (which typically would charge slower) and see if the tablet responds to that. With the kindle fire running android I had to plug it in and leave it in for a while in order to get the device to respond when it was really drained.
In addition you may try holding the power button for 15 seconds or so once it is plugged in this should do the equivalent of a battery pull resetting the tablet which may then let it take a charge...
See if that approach works...
